Soulman (Villod Mixes)

Both remixes created for 12” vinyl use only by Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer. On October 22nd) The Orb featuring Lee Scratch Perry present new single 'Soulman' on Cooking Vinyl, released on limited edition 12" vinyl. 'Soulman' is an atmospheric, bass-heavy slo-mo house groove adorned with Perry's spiritual proclamations, which comes complete with killer remixes. Villod AKA Ricardo Villlalobos & Max Loderbauer deliver thirteen minutes of quirky abstract brilliance, utilising a low-fi bossa nova beat, perhaps in reference to Perry's classic production on the Congos' 'Congoman'. As well as the main Villod RMX, there are two other versions available on the 12", created with that format in mind. 'Soulman' is the second single from acclaimed album 'The Orb featuring Lee Scratch Perry present The Orbserver in the Star House', which is out now on Cooking Vinyl.
